Reno, NV - Ali Sánchez homered and doubled in an 8-3 Reno Aces (10-15, 54-46) win over the Oklahoma City Dodgers (17-8, 67-31) Friday night at Greater Nevada Field.

Sánchez summoned the force on Star Wars night with an absolute cannon shot to center in the sixth. Reno's backstop sent the three-run shot a staggering 473 feet, adding extremely valuable insurance in the Aces' first win of the series. Sánchez went 3-for-4 with four driven in.

Kyle Lewis stayed flaming hot with another homer, this one at a towering 444 feet to left center. The bomb tied the game at three in the sixth and was Lewis' 11th of the season. The Aces hit for the cycle in the frame with a single from Tristin English, a double from Sánchez, and the three bagger from Ryan Bliss.

Bliss has posted an extra-base hit in three straight games with two triples and a double. Hager roped his fifth triple of the season in the fourth, besting his career high mark from 2014 for Double-A Montgomery (4). Hager smacked a double to left in the seventh for his second multi-hit game of the series.

The Aces and Dodgers conclude their series Sunday afternoon at 1:05 p.m. PT.
